KING2BE,
Depends on the switch some have the same IOS as routers like 2950s and others have a menu format like CAT1924s (non enterprise) or CAT OS on CAT 1924 (Enterprise) that looks somewhat like IOS but it is a little different.
And if you get into some other older Cisco switches you will see "set" based commands etc.
So my question to you - Which switch are you asking about?
Hope this helps !

KING2BE,
First - PLEASE TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF !!!
As for switching you need to get on a sim or some real Cisco 2924 or 2950 switches because the IOS might be the same but some of the things you must do on them are different.
With switching you will be working with VLANs, VTP, STP and other things that will not be the same as what you normally do on a router.
I have had students who have had as many as 15 questions on switching including a sim on the CCNA.
Hope this helps!
